Notes

From SNPedia

Notes

The minor allele of this SNP, rs9263726, is reported to 100% predictive of the presence of an HLA-B*58:01 allele, at least in Japanese populations, and therefore also of greatly increased risk for HLA-B*58:01 related susceptibilities. An example of such a susceptibility is the greatly (>50X) increased odds of developing severe side effects from taking allopurinol.
